In areas where storms are more frequent, up to 20 to 30 mm of rain could accumulate over a period of 2 to 3 hours. Lightning, hail, and strong winds are also possible hazards in certain locations.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare for potential flash flooding, assess whether your location is at risk and create a flood plan along with an emergency flood kit. Secure moveable objects and structures, such as bins, garden furniture, and tents, before gusty winds arrive. Check road conditions and public transport schedules to avoid delays in your travel plans.<\/p>\n<p>In case of power cuts, gather essential items like torches, batteries, and a mobile phone power pack. If you are outdoors and hear thunder, seek shelter in a safe enclosed area, like a car. Avoid taking cover under trees or other structures that could be struck by lightning. Stay informed about changing weather warnings by regularly checking the forecast from the Met Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12626","weather-warning","type-weather-warning","status-publish","hentry","category-weather-warnings"],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"mbww_title":"Intense showers and thunderstorms could lead to heavy rainfall, impacting travel and possibly causing flooding in some areas.","mbww_dates":"","mbww_regions":"<div>\n<h4>North East England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Northumberland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>North West England<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Cumbria<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>SW Scotland, Lothian Borders<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Dumfries and Galloway<\/li>\n<li>East Lothian<\/li>\n<li>Midlothian Council<\/li>\n<li>Scottish Borders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Strathclyde<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>East Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>South Ayrshire<\/li>\n<li>South Lanarkshire<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","mbww_date_from":"2024-05-28 15:00:00","mbww_date_to":"2024-05-28 23:59:00","mbww_level":"","mbww_summary":"<ul>\n<li>There is a small chance of homes and businesses being flooded quickly, leading to damage from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail, or strong winds<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance of fast-flowing or deep floodwater posing a danger to life<\/li>\n<li>If flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a possibility of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services<\/li>\n<li>Spray and sudden flooding may result in challenging driving conditions and some road closures<\/li>\n<li>There is a small chance that certain communities could be isolated due to flooded roads<\/li>\n<li>There is a slight chance of power outages and potential loss of other services for some homes and businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning\/12626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/weather-warning"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/weather-warning"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weatherforecast.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
